    Role of biomarkers in community-acquired pneumonia management
    (Wolters Kluwer, 2024) Onur, Bahaeddin; Demirbas, Hakan Barış; Gülmez, Arif
    Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) poses a significant global health threat, particularly affecting vulnerable populations. Biomarkers and scoring systems play a crucial role in diagnosing, assessing severity, and guiding treatment decisions for CAP patients. Biomarkers like C reactive protein, procalcitonin, and the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio aid in diagnosis and severity assessment, while scoring systems such as CURB-65 and Pneumonia Severity Index classify patients into risk categories. Emerging biomarkers (uremia, elevated respiratory rate, hypotension, and age ≥ 65) like serum amyloid A and S100 proteins show promise in predicting disease severity and prognosis. However, further research is needed to determine their precise roles and clinical utility in CAP management.

    Unilateral painless vision loss detected incidentally during the driver's health examination at the family medicine polyclinic: Case report
    (Ağrı İbrahim Çeçen Üniversitesi, 2024) Sökmen, Nebi; Onur, Bahaeddin; Ekimci Deniz, Funda
    Introduction: Family medicine encompasses a unique set of competencies and characteristics aimed at providing primary care with a patient-centered focus. In this paper, we aimed to present a case study demonstrating how family practice competencies were utilized in the management of central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO). Case: A 48-year-old diabetic man, seeking a driving license health report, presented without complaints. Even though he self-reported normal vision, a comprehensive examination revealed a visual loss in his left eye, leading to a diagnosis of CRVO. Despite the absence of typical risk factors such as hypertension or hyperlipidemia, detailed examination and comprehensive evaluation of the patient offered the patient a chance for diagnosis and treatment. Discussion: CRVO often manifests as painless unilateral vision loss. Family physicians play a crucial role in early detection through comprehensive assessments, even in asymptomatic patients. Rapidly diagnosis and prompt referral to ophthalmologists allow for timely intervention, as seen in this case where intravitreal bevacizumab injections led to improved visual acuity. Conclusion: This case highlights the importance of family physicians detecting signs of disease, in patients without obvious symptoms. Family physicians contribute to the early diagnosis and effective management of many diseases with their comprehensive approach and patient-oriented care.
